Well, one other option is to completely ignore (and disable) the internal
mic, and just support the external mic (jack). Then, mic detection could
be implemented. The advantage here is similarity to other boards without
the mic bias sharing issue. Plus, the jack is probably far more useful
than the internal mic on this board:

I honestly don't know how many boards (if any) actually have anything
plugged into the internal mic header on the board. Mine certainly
didn't originally; I used a PC speaker I stole from somewhere else as
the internal mic;-)
